Soft Pretzels

All Purpose Flour
1 lb frozen bread dough, thawed (wheat or white)
1 egg
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup cinnamon sugar
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1. Place bread dough on a floured cutting board and ask your child to roll it into a rectangle. You want it to be about 12" by 10". Slice the dough lengthwise into 12 strips with a pizza cutter.

2. Help your child make each dough strip into a loop and then fold back into a pretzel shape. Transfer to a lined cookie sheet; cover and allow to rise for 20 minutes.

3. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wisk egg and 1 Tb. water. Have your child brush pretzels with egg mixture and top with seeds, sugar, or cheese. Bake 15 minutes or until browned.
